First Reading Ezekiel 37:1-14

Read in the CPDV: Ezekiel 37

Gospel Matthew 22:34-40

  • 34But the Pharisees, hearing that he had caused the Sadducees to be silent, came together as one.

  • 35And one of them, a doctor of the law, questioned him, to test him:

  • 36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

  • 37Jesus said to him: “‘You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

  • 38This is the greatest and first commandment.

  • 39But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

  • 40On these two commandments the entire law depends, and also the prophets.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
